Olsen said after Friday's defeat at Viborg: "I don't know how it is for Sindre.

"For me, it is something that makes me proud. I work at a club where we have such good players and when we have good players there will always be rumours. 

"We know football is a crazy world where things can happen from one day to the next. I don't know if it's natural with the amounts they mention, but our players are often linked to every other club, so it's not something I think about anymore."
